============================================
The Third International Workshop on Computational Intelligence in
Economics and Finance (CIEF'2003) will be held as a part of the
Seventh Joint Conference on Information Sciences. Computational
intelligence, usually known as a collection of techniques, including
artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, evolutionary algorithms,
etc., is one of the most important tools in computational economics
and finance. Over the last decade, computational intelligence has
been widely used in various economical and financial modeling,
prediction, and analysis. The most noticeable application of
computational intelligence is in financial date mining.
In addition to financial data mining, computational intelligence
has also been intensively used in the research area known as
agent-based computational economics where global regularities aries
from the bottom up, through repeated local interactions of autonomous
agents. Computational intelligence provides a tool to model these
autonomous agents and their interactions. Issues addressed included
the behavior, cognitive and psychological foundations of agent
engineering, constructive communications among the field and panel
study, the experimental economics, behavior economics, econometrics,
and agent-based economic models, the micro-macro economic relation,
economics as a science of emergence. In addition, as one of its
distinguishing features, CIEF'03 also solicits studies applying
agent-based models to simulating the evolution of preferences,
commodities, technology, organization, human capital, and behavior
and strategies. Papers which do not explicitly use CI but may
highlight promising new applications of CI to economics and finance
are also welcome.
